EMPIRE CHEST DETAIL

One of the marquetry end panels on a 200 year old mohogany empire chest that is being refined. The other side panel matches this side. There are more surprises to come.

A NEW LOOK

The new look looks a lot like the old look but the background color makes the postings a little more sharp. Newly added are tid-bits down the right side that gives the blog a little more general interest.

About Me

I was born in Penrose Wyoming. My father and mother were both craftsmen. My father, RUSSELL M. BLOOD, was an early MOLESWORTH craftsman in Cody Wyoming, later with the encouragemnet of a New York collector created his own studio called WESTERN WOODCRAFT.
I fell in love with the shop before I was even in grade school. There is a great deal of satisfaction in creating and producing every day items in an artistic manner that reflects a persons' desire to be just a little different than a cookie cutter. As you can see by my blog I am mostly into rustic lighting and rustic furniture along with marquetry.

FALL HARVEST

We live in an area of an ever increasing population of Amish, their seemingly simple way of life is centered around family, community and hard work. Fall harvest is a special time and takes me back to my childhood on the farm.

POWELL BEAN CO.

Burlap bags are a big deal these days, this colorful one comes the Powell Bean Company in Wyoming where our farm did business for decades.
